In 822, emissaries sent by the Slavs visited Emperor Louis the Pious at the Imperial Diet of Frankfurt and in 828, the Archbishop Adalram of Salzburg consecrated the Church of the court of Prince Pribina in Nitra.
The first mentions of the subject of the Christianization of the Slavs in the Middle Danube goes back to the seventh century, to the epoch of Bishop Amand, an apostle of the Belges.
Prince Pribina, after fleeing Nitra, became the Lord of the Slavs, occupying the Transdanubian Pannonia.

 Origins of the Slavs--An Overview
Already in the 9th century, they laid a sound basis of their own statehood headed by the first ruler Pribina, residing in Nitra, but soon they were incorporated into a common state with the Moravians.
The eastern centre was formed in Nitra where the first arch presbytery and later bishopric were formed and which was also the place of residence of rulers of almost the whole area of present-day Slovakia.
And it is quite possible that also Rastislav, who was undoubtedly raised also in the world of Frank rulers, was waiting for the time of his reign here.
